Seed Size, Not Dispersal Syndrome, Determines Potential for Spread of Ricefield Weeds by Gulls [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Recent field data suggest that migratory gulls disperse many rice field weeds by gut passage (endozoochory), most of which are dry fruited and widely assumed to have no long-distance dispersal mechanisms, except via human activity.

Experimental Endozoochory of Cannabis sativa Achenes
Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids, 2018 The mechanism by which Cannabis sativa dispersed from its center of origin remains an open question. The literature provides many hypotheses, which we review for the first time, but experiments are few.

Spitting Seeds From the Cud: A Review of an Endozoochory Exclusive to Ruminants [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Given their strong masticatory system and the powerful microbial digestion inside their complex guts, mammalian ruminants have been frequently considered seed predators rather than seed dispersers.

A review of plant phenolics and endozoochory. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstractPhenolic compounds (phenolics) are secondary metabolites ubiquitous across plants. The earliest phenolics are linked to plants' successful transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment, serving as protection against damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and as antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress in an atmosphere with an ...

Endozoochory largely outweighs epizoochory in migrating passerines [PDF]
Journal of Avian Biology, 2013 Fruits and seeds are critical food sources for many European passerines during the autumn migration, which in turn contribute to disperse seeds either internally, i.e. after ingestion (endozoochory), or externally, when seeds adhere to the body surface (epizoochory).

Endozoochory by beetles: a novel seed dispersal mechanism [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2011 Due in part to biophysical sized-related constraints, insects unlike vertebrates are seldom expected to act as primary seed dispersers via ingestion of fruits and seeds (endozoochory). The Mediterranean parasitic plant Cytinus hypocistis, however, possesses some characteristics that may facilitate endozoochory by beetles. By combining a long-term field

Forest Return on an Abandoned Field - Secondary Succession Under Monitored Conditions [PDF]
, 2011 The secondary succession pattern observed on an arable field abandoned since 1974 in Tilio-Carpinetum habitat is described and disscussed. Results obtained during 36 years of study confirm that succession on an abandoned field leads from a typical ...

Endozoochory by brown bears stimulates germination in bilberry [PDF]
Wildlife Biology, 2019 The understory vegetation of the Eurasian boreal forest is dominated by several ericaceous species (e.g. bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus). These species invest large amounts of energy in their sexual reproduction by producing seed-containing berries, which are apparent adaptations for endozoochory.

Diversity, 2023 The success of plant reproduction is highly dependent on effective seed dispersal. This study aimed to evaluate the potential seed dispersal effectiveness of cattle for Malus sieversii. The impact of cattle on the dispersal quantity and dispersal quality
